The Art and Science of Audio Book Production

Introduction

Over the years, many organizations have begun audio book production programs.
Some have been successful, some have not advanced beyond the novice level, and
some have failed completely. The diverse skills and technologies necessary to
achieve high levels of artistic and technical quality in audio book production
are called audio book art and science. Many elements, such as good staff, equipment,
and facilities, are important in determining quality of the final product; but
the most important is how well the principles of audio book art and science
are understood and applied.
